2002 GEM E825“MoMo Moggy”

32 MPH (51 KPH)I just changed the stock 10" Street and Turf tires that
came with it to Trailer wheels with a 21.9" diameter. This
instantly improved all aspects of handling and ride, and
gave me 6 mph more top speed without reprogramming
the controller.

Acceleration

It accellerates as fast if not faster than my Saturn gas car, that I now just keep for those freeway journeys.

Range

30 Miles (48 Kilometers)I've only had the car for a week (Aug 2006) so I don't really know it's true range, but I feel it's safely 25 miles. I did one trip of about 18 miles this week and came back reading 50% charge.

Additional Features

It has a great system of "PAKS" - interchangeable carrying packages that clip and unclip from the back of the vehicle, such as a truck-like bed, and a golf bag carrier. There's also a very large after-market of add-ons for this vehicle, which is great.

I LOVE this little car, it is the ideal car for Alameda. I just didn't realize that about 80% of all my mileage was in short local trips.
